Abstract: In response to the demand for interdisciplinary talents arising from the digital and intelligent transformation of the new energy industry, and to address the challenges of industry-education integration in the new energy chemistry major at local universities, a dual-driven talent cultivation model featuring “digital intelligence empowerment” and “industry-education collaboration” has been developed. This model is supported by an “industry-university-research-application” collaborative education mechanism, ensuring full-chain integration of talent cultivation through industry colleges jointly established by universities and enterprises. The curriculum is restructured around a “course cluster + project package” framework, comprising four major course clusters: New Energy Materials Chemistry, New Energy Catalysis and Processes, New Energy Analysis and Characterization, and Digital and Intelligent Chemical Engineering, with enterprise projects incorporated as teaching vehicles. The implementation follows a fou r-stage progressive practical system: “Fundamental Cognition–Comprehensive Application–Innovative Research– Industrial Practice”. Practice has shown that this model effectively enhances students' engineering practice capabilities, interdisciplinary integration skills, and digital and intelligent innovation literacy, providing a practical and replicable paradigm for local undergraduate institutions to deepen industry-education integration and cultivate high-quality interdisciplinary talents suited to the needs of the new energy industry.
